My Time at Portia is a Simulation Game with heavy RPG Elements, developed by Chinese developer Pathea Games, and published by Team 17 Digital. The game takes very heavy inspiration (self-admitted by the developers) from Marvelous' Rune Factory series, and to a lesser extent, Story of Seasons, albeit with a gorgeous Studio Ghibli inspired art style. Also, unlike the above two, which are primarily centered on farming, Portia is instead focused on Item Crafting, as the game puts the player in control of a Builder. However, crop harvesting and livestock raising are fully developed features, and the game has a major element of combat to it, as well as Dungeon Crawling.The game is set on a post-apocalyptic Earth, albeit a heavily fantasized version, complete with Steampunk technology and mythical beasts. Centuries after a nuclear war has plunged the world into ruin, several agrarian civilizations emerged from the ashes, ready to begin anew. The game casts the player in the role of the child of a famous craftsman, who has inherited their father's decaying workshop after their father goes travelling. Immigrating to Portia from the city, the player joins the peaceful community, and its local Commerce Guild, aiming to make their mark on the world. Armed with your Pa's workshop handbook and workbench, you must gather, mine and craft your way to being crowned the number one workshop in the whole of Portia! Side activities include farming, fishing, mining, dungeon delving, and plenty of others, including a Social Sim of sorts; make lasting friendships, enjoy romantic dates star gazing, and embark on the adventure of marriage.My Time at Portia was successfully Kickstarted on October 11, 2017, and afterward the game entered Early Access on January 23, 2018, seeing a full PC release on January 15 the following year. The game was later released on April 18, 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.In October 2019, Pathea Games announced that they were working on a sequel, My Time at Sandrock. Sandrock was eventually released in early access in May 2022, with a full release following in November 2023. Sandrock is mostly in the same style as Portia, but the developers have stated that they have also taken some inspiration from Dark Chronicle this time around. Sandrock is also a Cowboy Episode for the franchise, set in a town suffering desertification, requiring water management and recycling scrap from the Old World to keep the workshop running.

comment
The Beforetimes: There are multiple named eras in the 330 years prior to the current day, but the most notable is the "Age of Corruption," where mankind was supremely technologically advanced, had working space travel, perfectly sentient robots, and so on. They call it 'corruption' because it's most commonly believed that man's hubris and reliance on technology was the key deciding factor in how and why everything went into shit and drove most of humanity underground just to survive the subsequent wars.

Global Currency Exception: "Gols" is the standard currency used for all transactions everywhere, except for a number of special items/shops that only accept special "tokens" that must be earned through minigames. The Research Lab and Church Store will also sell a number of items and only accept certain technology items in trade.

One that requires knowledge of Eastern Animation, but the Hulu Brothers are a shout out to the Chinese cartoon series Calabash Brothers. Knowing this, the shirts' color scheme and the gourd printed on their shirt makes more sense.note And it doesn't get more direct than one of the alternate titles for the Eastern animation being The Hulu Brothers

 My Time at Portia (Video Game) / int_1a5bba2b
comment
Artistic License – Geology: The various abandoned ruins run afoul of this. Presumably they're supposed to be pre-apocalyptic buildings that have filled in with rubble, explaining the various relics you find as you dig through rock, sand, and dirt. The problem comes with the veins and clusters of valuable ores and minerals in the same ruins, which include raw copper, tin, lead, iron, and aluminium, among other things which makes it more like a mine or quarry. Said ruins are about 300 years old, which is far too young to have formed metal deposits naturally.

Automaton Horses: Almost subverted; you have the option of feeding mounts (including horses), and they have a loyalty meter that would have bucked the player if they were mistreated. However, this system wasn't fully implemented, meaning there is no actual reason to feed your mounts.

The Friends Who Never Hang: To become friends with npcs you must raise relationship points with them, which usually includes talking to them, giving them gifts and going to meetings with them. But how can you get relationship points for completing missions or leveling up your relationship with a mutual friend, it is possible that you have the relationship of friends, with someone with whom you have practically not interacted.

Anachronism Stew: Everywhere. People generally wear modern day-styled clothing (with some exceptions, such as Django), but the guards and soldiers wield swords as their main weapons, firearms can no longer be mass produced, the vehicles they have are a combination of being Victorian tier and Steampunk, electricity is rare, and the technology to produce many things has been lost to time, many of which must be recovered from dangerous ruins, in the vein of Warhammer 40,000.

Permanent Elected Official: Gale is the mayor of Portia, and that's that. There's no mention of elections or anything of the sort, though he does say "you all selected me as mayor" in the aftermath of Tody burning down the harbor warehouse, and in fact at one point he mentions he'd like his son Gust to take over the job after he "retires" to form a "political dynasty."

Scunthorpe Problem
 My Time at Portia (Video Game) / int_3073efe5
comment
Scunthorpe Problem: Due to the developers being Chinese and taking every single action to prevent crossing the ruling Chinese Communist Party, the game has word filters implemented when it comes to naming chests, the workshop and pets, blocking out words that would otherwise get them in trouble with the Chinese government. However, the implementation is very pedantic. For example, you cannot name your workshop Fairfax because it contains the letters RFA in it, which the Chinese Government has problem with due to the initials connoting Radio Free Asia, an anti-communist radio station.

Boring, but Practical
 My Time at Portia (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6
comment
Boring, but Practical: The unassuming first Pickaxe you make out of literally sticks and stones remains useful when ruins diving and digging for ores. While it's hilariously overshadowed by the Mini-Drill in terms of ore mining, the fact that it consumes only 1 to 2 SP per swing (whereas the Mini-Drill is a SP hog) makes it a very good choice for artifact hunting later on. Simple Guild Contracts always remain useful throughout the game, as sometimes it's better to produce a steady stream of trade goods, rather then doing a resource-intensive project that will take a week to complete!

Karl Marx Hates Your Guts: Not only will vendors only buy an item from you for a quarter of the price they would sell it for, all items have the same price no matter where it comes from. Additionally, there is a randomized "market value" that changes day to day, which affects the buy and sell price, in Gols, of all items in every store. This is Averted in the Tree Farm and Mining Company, however, where the more of a specific item you want delivered per day, the more they will charge you per item.

Crapsaccharine World: The game is bright and sunny, the art style is cute, and the characters in the game are happy friendly people. The backstory, however, is that humans destroyed civilization, blackening out the sky for 200+ years where almost all life on the planet died. Humanity has only just got back on its feet, and rival nations are digging up old technologies in the effort to arm their militaries. Meanwhile, outside of this small safe haven, numerous dangerous robots roam the world.

Cats Are Mean: When you give a gift to someone, most townsfolk will score a small relationship boost even to items they don't care about. The cat Pinky, however, will turn her nose up and think less of you if you present anything that she doesn't specifically like. Contrast Scraps the dog, who responds with enthusiastic joy to almost anything you give him.

Boss Rush: The floor 91-100 from Deepest Ruin consists of fighting all the bosses in the game, in a row, although the Rogue Knight is replaced by The Forgotten Knight. Since you already have the Infinity +1 Sword at this point, all bosses between floor 91 and 99 are likely to be defeated in seconds.

Disc-One Nuke: Zig zagged with the Spiked Practice Sword. It gives a hefty 50% Critical Chance but it's very weak, and even with its Critical Chance boost it will be outdone by Bronze or Iron Swords... However having equipment to further boost your Critical Chance up to a whopping 85% Critical Chance will make this sword hit hard enough to compete with a Nova Sword.

Inexplicable Treasure Chests: The ones in the ruins you can kind of explain, since salvaged technology in this setting is based around finding machines from the previous civilization and co-opting them into the community's needs. The ones in the overworld, a lot of which contain still-edible food, though, not so much.

Guide Dang It!
 My Time at Portia (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: Marble cannot be found in any of the mines, only in surface rocks outside of Portia— many of which are large enough to be mistaken for elements of the backdrop. The tooltip explaining marble's location simply says, "quarry", which is here meant to mean "the act of splitting rocks", but can also mean "a place where rocks are split". Certain crafting stations can only be upgraded by using the A&G Construction Store. This is unexpected because all the other stations are provided to players at the beginning of the game, or need to be discovered by spending Data Discs at the Research Center and then personally built.

Commonplace Rare: Valves, strangely enough. They're a required element of certain important storyline commissions in the mid-game, but can only be found in the ruins rather then crafted. Which comes across as strange when you can craft pulleys, working electrical lights, and various power tools, but a simple valve is somehow too difficult to make. Carbon Steel can also fall into this, in part because it is the first standard crafting material that requires a crafted component (charcoal) to make, and in part because you will go through the stuff like a fat kid through cake.

Absurdly High Level Cap: The maximum level is 99, but the only way it can be achieved is by playing for many in-game years, or repeating the 97th floor of the deepest ruin, more than a thousand times.

Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Hoo boy. The game surely... simplifies the process of constructing what amounts to a fully functioning bus, as just one example, but it's understandable for gameplay purposes. Not only can you chop down an entire forest and it'll grow back to full size within a week, the nearby rocks you've shattered for stone and marble will also grow back in the same places. It makes sense for the sake of always having easy access to wood and stone, but it still comes across as jarring when you think about it too much.

Broken Bridge

comment
Broken Bridge: Several areas of the game are blocked off; given the player's profession, it's often their job to quite literally repair the bridge.

Shout-Out
 My Time at Portia (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Remington used to be in the Lucien Civil Corps, but then he took an arrow to the knee. The Stamina and Health restoration points that can be found in the various dungeons bear an uncanny resemblance to the cooking stations from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and bonfires from Dark Souls, respectively. Then there's the character of McDonald, the rancher, who works in two ways. The more obvious one is a reference to the nursery rhyme "Old McDonald Had a Farm". If you interact with him, you'll also learn that he wishes to start a beef burger restaurant, which he insists will make him famous. As of PC version 2.0.137299, you're able to help him realize this. One that requires knowledge of Eastern Animation, but the Hulu Brothers are a shout out to the Chinese cartoon series Calabash Brothers. Knowing this, the shirts' color scheme and the gourd printed on their shirt makes more sense.note And it doesn't get more direct than one of the alternate titles for the Eastern animation being The Hulu Brothers

Steampunk
 My Time at Portia (Video Game) / int_cf6d4bad
comment
Steampunk: The technology of the dark age heavily used this motif, with everything powered by steam, which included giant steam-powered mechs, robotic servants, and massive industrial factories. The remnants of this linger in ancient ruins that dot the landscape, which are the only source of steam-powered engines, and insane robots still patrol the broken halls. The current civilisations use this to a lesser extent, to power their transportation vehicles, forges, and airships, with the caveat that they can't reproduce this technology, and have to make do with scavenging.

Religion Is Wrong
 My Time at Portia (Video Game) / int_d0c563ad
comment
Religion Is Wrong: Not explicitly, but it's noteworthy that despite how much the church and research center are supposedly at odds, and modern gamer-think being that in such a situation you'll have to choose a side at some point, choosing to only support the church isn't a viable gameplay option (unless you want to just sit at status quo indefinitely, which is exactly what the church wants). To explain, when you find discs with recordings of pre-collapse information, the church wants to destroy them to keep the information from bringing ruin to this civilization and will reward you with plant-growing supplies for giving them the discs. Turning over the same kinds of discs to the research center is the only way to unlock better refining and construction machinery that you need to progress in the game.

Toilet Humor: If you fail an attempt to cook, Wasted Food will be created, which stuns the diner and Potty Failure ensues. Exaggerated when a main arc Poisoned Water is active, where almost every NPC will suffer Potty Emergency now and then.

And Your Reward Is Parenthood
 My Time at Portia (Video Game) / int_d4a89464
comment
And Your Reward Is Parenthood: You can have up to two children after getting married. You can choose to either have them biologically (if you're married to someone of the opposite gender) or adopt from the Church of the Light (even if you could have biological children). Biological children's appearances are based on a combination of your player character and your spouse, while adopted children have a randomly-generated appearance. While they don't grow up much, they do eventually grow hair, and they have friendship values like all other NPC characters.

Anti-Frustration Features
 My Time at Portia (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: When ruin diving, your vertical digging range is slightly increased so you don't have to keep fiddling around to get that ore vein or that spot you want to take a chunk of stone out of. Also when ruin diving, you have an option to instantly be teleported back to the entrance, since it's very easy to dig yourself into a confusing maze of your own making when you're going after artifacts. Going up a friendship level with a character will increase friendship points with his/her respective friends, which makes it easier to befriend multiple characters at once.

Holding Out for a Hero
 My Time at Portia (Video Game) / int_d7f21602
comment
Holding Out for a Hero: Gloriously subverted. If any creature dares to hurt a NPC, rarely will it be allowed to walk free. In the Final Battle, there's really something inspiring about a bunch of attacking mech walkers appearing in the middle of town, and all the ordinary Portians running up to fight back.

Reasonable Authority Figure: Mayor Gale is one of the most unwaveringly nice people in the town of Portia and only ever seems to have the well being of its citizens in mind. He works very hard both as a coordinator to develop and improve the town, as well as a mediator to keep the people and their conflicting interests satisfied.

But Now I Must Go
 My Time at Portia (Video Game) / int_f0fe7e80
comment
But Now I Must Go: Aadit after the quest "The Final Battle", after which other NPCs propose two different (conflicting) theories that both have evidence to support them. The first is simply that, in line with well known character traits, they felt unsafe in town and left. The second theory being that they were The Rogue Knight the entire time and faking being a scared pacifist. If you married them before this, they leave you a letter that simply says they still love you but they must leave because of undisclosed reasons, and have left you a parting gift. Their relationship on the social screen changes to BFFs (though they never appear in the game again), ending your romance and possibly opening the way for a new one.

We Buy Anything
 My Time at Portia (Video Game) / int_fa9e71b5
comment
We Buy Anything: Averted. Most shops will only allow the player to sell them certain kinds of items, some stores won't buy anything at all, and each store only has so many Gols to trade per day. The flower store is unlikely to purchase your stock of weapons or furniture, for instance. The general store will purchase most things without complaint, but they have among the lowest daily purchasing limits, so you will need to shop around to unload all your Shop Fodder.

Item Crafting
 My Time at Portia (Video Game) / int_ff34c05a
comment
Item Crafting: A very major feature; the character is the child of a very famous craftsman, and they are expected to fill his shoes and make a living off this. Not only is it important, it's also very detailed, with many different layered systems. Hundreds of items can be crafted, from simple tanned leather, to highly complicated Steampunk buses (the latter often requiring a host of resource-intensive parts to be crafted first). The items are separated on different crafting stations, the most major being the Assembly Platform, in which major machinery and the other crafting tables are built. Further complicating things, every different crafting table runs on a different source of power (which must be constantly replaced by the player), ranging from simple wood fuel, all the way to rare power crystals that need to be recovered from ruinsnote Although, if you donated enough discs to the Research Center, you can unlock a power generator which will make it so even those machines that normally require rare condensed power crystals can run on wood fuel. You also need to upgrade these crafting tables, which is an exercise in resource gathering in itself; the Assembly Platform can be upgraded at the construction office, but the others must be built from scratch or even upgraded by means of merging several existing pieces of equipmentnote Specifically, the comprehensive grinder and comprehensive cutter, which combine an industrial furnace with either an industrial cutter or a grinder respectively on an upgraded Assembly Platform! Crafted items can be sold, or (the more profitable option) made for Guild Contracts.
